IBM PASE for i Runtime Libraries

IBM® i PASE runtime supports a large subset of the interfaces provided by AIX® runtime. Most runtime interfaces supported by IBM PASE for i provide the same options and behavior as AIX. The latest information about what AIX runtime interfaces are supported by IBM PASE for i can be found on the PartnerWorld®Link outside information center Web site.

IBM PASE for i interfaces for Structured Query Language (SQL) Call Level Interface (CLI) are somewhat different from any AIX database. IBM PASE for i library libdb400.a handles (ASCII/EBCDIC) character encoding conversions, but supports only the options and behaviors provided by DB2 for IBM i. An IBM PASE for i program that uses SQL CLI must be compiled with IBM i header file sqlcli.h. See IBM PASE for i for more information.

IBM PASE for i runtime includes the following libraries, installed (as symbolic links) in /usr/lib. See IBM AIX Link outside information center for information about most of the interfaces exported by these libraries, DB2 for IBM i documentation for information about SQL CLI interfaces, and IBM PASE for i APIs for information about interfaces that are unique to IBM PASE for i:
